Electrostatics Flashcards
1
Q
Coulombs law
A
The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by one point charge on another point charge is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
2
Q
Electric field
A
A region of space in which an electric charge experiences a force
3
Q
Electric field at a point
A
The electric field at a point is the electrostatic force experienced per unit positive charge placed at that point
